Coldest Week Yet! Coal Fire and More Snow Plowing, John Deere 5067E

[@Mark-Marine]

I remember as a little boy visiting my granddad. He sent me down to the train depot with a nickel to buy a bucket of coal. The smell of burning coal and the heat it puts out is a pleasant memory to me. Give my best to your Dad and have a blessed Sunday.

[@bennykennedy1786]

Hello Mark. I hope you are staying warm.

[@khtractors]

The smell of good coal burning is something I enjoy as well! Thanks for watching Mark!

[@southtexashay777]

Good morning Ben, hope you and your family have a blessed day.

[@khtractors]

Thank you and hope you all have a blessed day as well!

[@joutdoorsmen23]

Yes it’s been really cold around here too, trying to keep water for the animals been a little crazy, great job and video Ben, God Bless

[@MitchellPack-zw4vu]

I agree with you about the amount of time that the ground has been frozen,it makes me wonder after things do thaw how many roads and driveways will have issues with pot holes developing. I am one of your viewers that requested videos with snow and brother you have not disappointed. I have enjoyed seeing the scenery around you while you are working. Thank you again Ben for the videos, oh and by the way I haven’t saw anyone burn coal in a long time, that brought back memories

[@khtractors]

Coal has been a staple of heating sources in our family for many years. It’s becoming harder to find good house coal, but it was readily available at one point. It’s a big help on those extremely cold days. Thanks for watching

[@knifecoop001]

Ben, good job, stay warm!

[@khtractors]

Thanks, you too! Better weather this week hopefully.

[@midwayfarms]

Great video I'm ready for spring God bless

[@khtractors]

Mud season is coming next. Thanks for watching

[@Jonathan-g5h2k]

Whew,y’all have had some more cold and snowy weather. We wouldn’t know what to do with that much snow in our area. Years ago a lot of people including myself burned wood or coal around here. Seems like most of us have stopped for some reason or another. The boring bees are alive and well down here but the woodpeckers haven’t gone after them yet. Hope you have a blessed Sunday Ben!

[@khtractors]

Thank you buddy! Have a great week!

[@andrewanderson1436]

I may have said it before Ben, but that front blade sure is nice.

[@khtractors]

Thank you!!

[@outdoorswithlarryrobin]

Good morning Ben, same here been a lot of years since snow’s been on the ground as long. And very cold also stay warm my friend.

[@khtractors]

Thanks, you too!

[@O.KFarmToysdeutzallis6275]

I’m excited for the videos of you running things through the shop

[@khtractors]

I’ve got a few things to do but I did pretty good at keeping things up last year. Thanks for watching

[@southtexashay777]

I built a large Cattle Panel Hoop House to save my DRAGON FRUITS from freezing in South Texas. Unbelievable weather for us.

[@khtractors]

I’m glad that you’re worked payed off! It’s crazy how much of our country has had snow and harsh cold this winter.

[@ABMFARM]

Good Video ben and nice close pictures of the chains. I have considered making me a set for the front of mine, but i am still debating that thought, I can do it for about half the cost or less of a set of front chains. but again still pondering that. have a great one and they giving more snow tonight!

[@khtractors]

@@ABMFARM yeah they have us going on a 2 hour delay tomorrow but I’m expecting that might change. Thanks for watching

[@andymauthe5508]

Another good video Ben. We have the same problem up here in Pennsylvania with the boring bees making holes then the woodpeckers going in after them. Makes a real mess out of your wood structures. Liked the views of your heating system in your shop. I have an inside stove in my shop that I burn mostly wood in. But it’s been a real cold spell up here too and I had my first coal fire yesterday! I’m burning PA anthracite up here and it really throws off the heat. Stay warm and God bless.

[@khtractors]

They sure can destroy the sheds in a hurry! The coal really helps on those days in the teens and below. Also at night it will carry over till morning better. Thanks for watching

[@RCAFpolarexpress]

Good Morning Mon Ami 🖐😇👍 Yes It was a cold week up here too 🥶🥶❄❄These wood pickers are hungry during the winter time 😢 Free Source of heat is truly OUTSTANDING 🔥🔥👍👍😇😇 Very Nice Open Station Tractor Snow Action Sir and Very Nice Set OF Tire Chains 🧐🧐👍👍 Diesel need a little help during deep cold ( yes check the thermostat for sure ). Radiator Is very important and Keep Up Your OUTSTANDING work Cheers 🍻🍻

[@khtractors]

Thank you Dave! I think I might call the service department and ask them about what’s going on. Thanks for watching

[@Dan-qy1rg]

Yeah it sure is a colder winter than what we've had in quite a few years. With all the ice and snow you got those chains are a must, I don't even have 4 wheel drive, would love to have both. Good job on the snow removal, I want to wish the best for y'all on the rest of the winter. Stay safe and I hope you have a good day!

[@khtractors]

Chains help a lot on 2 wheel drives also. Thanks for watching

[@Dan-qy1rg]

@@khtractors You're right on that one! Back on Jan 30, 1982 we got 21" of snow and I had to drive in it for several miles in a two wheel drive truck. I got stuck and put on the chains and never had an issue after that. 👍

[@willardnicholson8026]

Great video buddy God bless you 🙏👍

[@khtractors]

Thank you!!!

[@dwalke26]

The week of this video was miserable for everyone in the south. Those 5E’s look so much better with the bigger tires.

[@khtractors]

I think they look pretty good also. Thanks for watching

[@rogercarrico4975]

Those tire chains sure make the difference in that frozen stuff. Anxious to see if the cardboard allows the engine to warm up more. From the video. Your running at a fairly low rpm. That might be partly the cause. Naturally though, no need to rev her up, pushing snow. Lol

[@khtractors]

I’m usually running 15-1800 rpm’s, should be plenty to warm the engine up. I think it’s just 🥶. Yes, the cardboard did help. Thanks for watching

[@russbedenbaugh4558]

How does your wood heater heat your big building? Looks to be in a different shed. Like your videos.

[@khtractors]

It’s forced air heat, I have a pipe ran into the shop through the wall. Thanks for watching

[@joeyrector1015]

Them woodpeckers are something else aren't they. I know what you mean by the ground being frozen like it is. Our driveway is throwing out. And it's muddy. Im having to watch where I park at.

[@khtractors]

Yeah it’s still froze here but expect it to thaw this week. It will be muddy for sure. Thanks for watching

[@joeyrector1015]

@khtractors you're welcome

[@martymartin2894]

Does that boiler in your shed heat your house, did u say u don't have any other stove inside the house. A small stove inside would be great aswell if u haven't already got one.

[@khtractors]

@ it’s forced air heat not a boiler. We use gas as a supplement heat in the house. Thanks for watching

[@MrFretman6]

Looks like you were limping at the 9:29 minute mark. Are you okay?

[@khtractors]

You know I noticed that too watching the video. My left knee takes spells of hurting but I didn’t realize I was limping. Thanks for watching and for checking on me!

[@alittleofthisandalittleofthat]

I was looking at the tractor and forget what you said the difference between the 500m loader and 520 m?

[@khtractors]

The 500M sets in closer to the tractor while the 520M sticks out more. The 500M makes the tractor more stable. Thanks!

[@hattcreekfarm]

Plant you a fake owl or rubber snake in that spot & he won’t be back Ben!! My grandpa believed in both of them cause they work!!

[@khtractors]

That’s some good suggestions! Thank you!

[@RandyBills-f7q]

My tractor does the same thing in cold temps I kinda wish they would have put a clutch fan on them but I guess they know what there doin I dont know If I was King I would change a lot of things LOL

[@khtractors]

I agree a fan clutch would help. But thankfully it doesn’t usually get this cold so it won’t be an issue very often. I appreciate your input on the subject. Thanks for watching.

[@raywhite1442]

How do folks in Virginia spell hour

[@bennykennedy1786]

Same way you do, but we like the unique way we pronounce it. Have you ever been north and heard the different accents?

[@khtractors]

Howr is how I spell it. Thanks for watching

[@raywhite1442]

Ex where I have lived all my life it hasn't got a w in it

[@bennykennedy1786]

What does ex spell?

[@khtractors]

I’ve never learnt to spell two whale!

[@J-10dude]

More rpm’s

[@khtractors]

If it doesn’t warm up at 1600 to 1800 rpm’s it still won’t at wide open. Thanks for watching
